With special attention to the lighting, table settings, centerpieces, wedding decorations, and creating an original theme or color scheme, will set your reception apart from the norm and leave your guests with their jaws on the floor.
Get the light right
A wedding reception should convey the same romantic feel as the preceding nuptials – and lighting is perhaps the easiest way to capture the magical spirit of the event. To create a suitable mood – whether it be romantic, ambient, or mystical – experiment with the lighting and seek professional advice. Think about the color, intensity, shade created and any overhead fixtures. Explain to your event coordinator exactly what ‘feel’ you are trying to create or ask them for original lighting ideas – you will be surprised how many lighting variations they can come up with. And remember you can always add elegant pieces such as chandeliers and candelabras.
Luminous ideas:
- To create a romantic lighting situation, it’s a good idea to incorporate soft colored lights.
- For an event full of dreamy ambiance, fill the room with votive candles.
- Consider lining glass votives along the ceiling rafters or place individual votives at each table setting.
- Incorporate fairy lights to gently shine around window frames and doorways for a magical effect.
- To create a warm glow, slightly alter the light cast by overhead fixtures or a chandelier by wrapping organza cloth around the light source.
- Natural light is wonderful for photographs, however you may want to adjust the brightness slightly by filtering it through a curtain or silk fabric to soften the effect.
- For ambient entrance ways, remember to decorate pathways and stairs with lanterns or hurricane lamps.
With these wedding decorating tips your wedding venue will be an event that no one will ever forget.
